I get that just about everytime the fraglimit is reached I fraglimit games and also when the time runs out. I just don't play to the end of these games anymore. SGN is quite aware of this issue and even asked us for info about the types of maps it was happining ect. I know you have been asking them about it a lot. The pattern I am starting to notice with them is that they do in fact get around to these types of issues eventually, but it can take them a good long time to do so. Also I have noticed they will tend to ignore you untill they are about to actually fix the problem.
Cheers for filling me in on that. I'll start leaving them now too. I see what you mean about how hard it gets to rise up the ranks after the 250 placing. Killed about 60 planes in last hour or so and i rose 6 places to 232. phew. i do 2 hrs at home and about an hour in work during breaks. I work nights so i can get the pacific time zones as well as the unemployable brits, isomniacs, and the rest.
Honestly I think it was a bit harder for people like me to rise up the ranks in version 1 in some ways. In version 1 the only peoples rankings and actual online scores that were known were the folks in the top 10. I didn't even know my own score or ranking! I had no idea how I was doing. I just made a simple goal for myself that I was going to get 5000 kills a month. When they finally released version 2 I was quite shocked and surprised to find myself ranked #12! That was a good day for me obviously Whats kind of funny is that even though I don't have hours and hours to spend playing these days, when they remove those guys from the top 2 I'm still #12! This suggests to me there is a huge point gap somewhere along the line. However if you want to reach the top 10 and then stay there, you need to avereage at least 5k kills a month! I will admit though in some ways it was easirer in that the games used to constantly fill up and stayed full sometimes for weeks on end! This meant i was regularly getting 200+ kill games whenever I had the time. Let me tell you though your eyes really start to burn like hell after one of those games... not to mention the headaches! I kind of miss that in a way, and I know I won't be able to achive one of my main goals I had set for myself now, because it's impossible now. I had always wanted to have a record 500+ kill game! EDIT: Shern, Frumius, Mosquito, I remember it was Twolf who has the record (at least that anyone is aware of) for the most kills in a single game. I'm thinking he had like 300 and something but I can't remember. What is his record if any of you happen to recall?
No one had told you that reaching the Frag limit is a game bug. Just leave either before that last kill or before the time runs out on a chrono game Sucks buts that's the way it is
Great post! I'd like to add that we didn't start off with the z3 either so chonching wasn't an option. I find that to be a huge factor. Along with that was a lack of firepower But it's all good now btw, my record was 253 in a game. That was a fun game.
Well you beat my record then by around 20 or so... I used to just be exhausted after that 200th kill! When we started out the best planes in the game were the corsair and the zero II! Slaughtering noobs in p-40s is a bit harder in a corsair Remember when they released the white hein? We thought that was the s*%&! And then I couldn't see how they could do better than the mustang II... now those planes pretty much suck! EDIT: And we had to walk 12 miles though the snow, just to get to our hangars!
GG! Swordfish and Bukki. It was tough for me as I was playing with one of my three year old sons sleeping in my arms on the rocking chair. Hopefully Bukki, I wore the [HYN] tag proud.
Swordfish & SUK GG Swordifsh & [HYN]SUK!!! I had to leave earlier than I wanted to fulfill husband/dad duties. But it was a lot of fun. Swordfish, you are amazing in the P38. I take on a lot of foolish h2h just cause it's fun, but you give me pause - it is just too deadly to be directly in your line of fire! SUK - you are the first member of the [HYN] Hyena Pack to be sighted in action! High honors standing in the pack forever yours! I think I managed not to shoot you! Bukki
Ya done real good kiddo! We followed the spirit of the hyena. I noticed we were both taking down the smokers when the opportunity crossed our paths, and we got to gang up on Swordfish a few times. I also knocked Swordfish out a couple of times when he was hot on your six - surprise! [HYN]Bukki
Yep! I also had your six when I could and took down Swordfish and the other 2 planes with us when they were gunning for you. Unfortunately, I think I shot at you a couple times....but I guess that's the way of the [HYN] during a feeding frenzy. BTW we [HYN] do not apologize for eating our own...it's how we will stay strong.
Amnesty International also requested that you refrain from publishing Vanessa inspired love poems out of fear that it would be read to prisoners in Gitmo. However, I am all for having it read there, just not put in front of us. My eyes burn just thinking about seeing it. Bukki
I think you are absolutely right. No apologies in the frenzy. Plus, if a [HYN] is heavily smoking, limping along with only one gun, I think it is a point of honor for another [HYN] to put the wounded out of their misery so they can rise again and make the pack stronger! No sense in giving the kill to an outsider! [HYN]Bukki
